Group Properties for Skiing in Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe’s ski resorts and hotels: They’re where group travel peaks.

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada, on the South Shore of North America’s largest and most beautiful alpine lake, Lake Tahoe offers beaches and mountains in one place. With an average lake-level snowfall of 215 inches per year (just under 18 feet), South Lake Tahoe is the best in the west for skiing and snowboarding. Groups can hit the slopes, get their apres-ski on or enjoy a multitude of winter activities. And after a day of snow much fun, your group can chill out and warm up at top-notch hotels, resorts and lodges close by.

Our mountain resort destination is home to the divine Heavenly Mountain Resort, boasting 4,800 acres of off-the-grid, snow-covered terrain and awe-inspiring views. It’s so vast that it straddles the California-Nevada state line, so your participants can ski two states in one day!

Heavenly Mountain Resort earned the No. 5 spot on USA Today’s 2024 Readers’ Choice list of 10 Best Ski Resorts in North America.

Heavenly Mountain Resort has a convenient shuttle service, including the Lodging Route, which runs every 20 minutes from 7:40 a.m. to 5:40 p.m. for access to some of South Lake Tahoe’s finest lodging properties, including accommodations with meeting space.
